Don't let it annoy you too much. The Red Sox have a much larger run differential because they're a better hitting team. So they score more runs in blowouts and their expected W-L record gets inflated a bit; whereas the Rays and Angels have better pitching staffs and win more close games.

"The best of both worlds is finally here. In a long-awaited win-win for fans everywhere, Major League Baseball Advanced Media announced on Wednesday that MLB.TV Premium subscribers now have the choice of the home or away broadcast feed in every live game."

If they offer both TV feeds, could I watch a Sox-Jays game on NESN even though Buffyvision would be blacked out for me?

"Blackout and other restrictions apply"

Based on what I'm seeing, if the game is blacked out for you, it's blacked out on both feeds.

(Which makes a certain kind of sense, at least if you are able to apply "sense" to the blackout rules, sigh. In this view, it would make a lot more sense to give you only the home feed, complete with the home feed's commercials.)

Does this mean no more whining when we get the wrong feed? We can just switch?

It's Krazy Eyes Killah's third commercial (that I've noticed) since his role on Curb. (The actor who played Krazy. Who was a character on the show. Funny to see him play these straight roles after being a gangsta rapper.)

PHILLIES 6TH: Rollins singled to right; Abreu struck out while Rollins was caught stealing second (catcher to shortstop to first to second to pitcher to second to first to second to catcher to shortstop); Rolen flied to center.

June 8, 1914 PIT @ PHIIn the home 4th, Fred Luderus hit a line drive to the [high] brick wall in deep centerfield where it stuck. Luderus circled the bases while CF Kelly "danced frantically underneath but the ball would not fall". Apparently a piece of brick was missing - forming a hole where the ball stuck in the "jagged edges of two broken bricks" for the first true inside-the-park homer.

Went out to eat with the folks (Clemmons Kitchen,mmmmm).They came by to visit after and I have been sitting here fighting the urge to go to the puter and check the score. Dad brought up the subject of the Braves, his team, and I quickly said,"well let's see if we can find a game and get some scores".We watched some of Pit-StL on ESPN, and just as Mom and Dad were saying bye they showed the official announcement of the postponement at the Toilet and then switched to Boston.Meant to be!Hot Damn!

OK, my 1st taste of NESN. I guess I'm not getting the ads I hear you talk about because they go to ESPN's ads.Wake's ball is moving pretty well to be so wet there. It's typically better in a dry atmosphere, which we do NOT have here.

Sec 22 in the loge--depending on your row, you may be in the *secret* foul ball spot. I don't know if you know this, but since last year, the home plate screen, which you'll be underneath, has holes in it where it meets the facade. A lot of balls that roll up it drop straight down. If you're right under a hole, and in row--FF, I believe? around there--your chances of getting a foul ball increase dramatically.

wow, NESN having serioues cam trouble now. Ball hit, cut to camera showing nothing, cut to another camera showing a close-up of the warning track, cut to Kotsay with ball in glove. They've clearly lost that main cam that they usually cut to after the ball is hit.

I mean, I definitely don't hear too many complaints about Wake in this great season he's having.

Oh, you're preaching to the choir. I've just heard so many Sox fans say, "Oh, he sucks," etc., and I keep thinking "are you talking about the same Wakefield I know of???" Also, isn't he a Clemente finalist or something?

Row NN, okay, so almost up to the first row of blue seats--which, behind the plate, I believe is for families and stuff. So you could have Mrs. Rod Barajas kicking the back of your seat. But fear not, you're close enough to that screen hole spot where balls may reach you if they roll off the end of the screen without hitting the facing of the roof. OR, you'll at least be able to move up a few rows in the last few innings, depending on the score.

Well even though my theory is always "never take Wake out," I think it really applies here. Nope--Pap warming. Why Pap, of all those guys? Three games in the next two days--I'd like to have him available for two!
